A 22-year-old suspect was arrested during an investigation into other crimes in the coastal Honduran town of La Ceiba.

Honduran authorities announced on Wednesday a new arrest in the ongoing investigation into the murder of world-renowned Indigenous leader and environmental activist Berta Caceres.
